passed all fitness tests.

Woot. Wonder if our odds will shorten a bit? They were 2.55 earlier today... I'll just check now.

*Checks*

2.55 @ TAB
2.60 @ SportingBet

Good value, now if only I actually gambled...

I think I explained my ideas on the game on the main board... so all I leave is my tip:

Carlton by a goal or so. (I tipped them)

I just don't think Melbourne can keep playing their brand of footy... having said that, if our defensive half goes to sleep it won't matter what brand of footy the play, they float a ball to about 35 metres out and Neitz will probably grab it on the lead.

Key factors in the midfield: Tackling, endurance - needs to be a four quarter effort
Defense: Keeping to your man whilst trying to fill any leading space and cut off leads as best as possible i.e. read the play
Forwards: Present, present, present... trap the ball in if it looks like leaving and crumb if it goes to ground. That's all you can do.

If I think about it anymore it will just get longer.

The boys will be pretty inspired. How good will the vibe be with Kouta leading them out for the first time? Pity it's not a home game. Have to be careful not to lose focus because of the occasion though.

Stop it, you'll make me doubt my assessment. :|
